Default stripped bolt

I have stripped the bolt that holds the headers onto the heads. It is made out of aluminum so its very soft. Its kinda to soft. How do i go about re threading this problem. its a 8mm bold. It pretty much has no thread on it since i can pull the bolt right out

your gonna have to drill and tap it for a bigger thread, hopefully just a 10 mm will do if you haven't stripped it too bad. much bigger hole that that and you might be screwed.

If that doesn't work its heli-coil time.
